A rapid review of the impact of Covid-19 on the mental health of healthcare workers: Implications for supporting psychological well-being
We've got what the NHS ultimately intended for us: Experiences of community engagement in rural primary care services change
Co-production of “nature walks for wellbeing” public health intervention for people with severe mental illness: Use of theory and practical know-how
We developed a theoretically-informed, evidence-based nature walks programme in a timely and relatively low-cost manner relevant in an era of growing mental illness and funding austerity. Further research is required to test if the intervention is effective and if this approach to intervention development works
Creating Community and Belonging in a Designated Housing Estate for Disabled People
In recent years there has been an ideological push within social care away from segregated housing provision towards supported housing integrated within the wider community (McConkey, Keogh, Bunting, Iriarte, & Watson, 2016; Merrells, Buchanan, & Waters, 2019; Overmars-Marx, Thomése, Verdonschot, & Meininger, 2014). Despite this, many housing solutions for older and disabled people continue to be built on a designated basis, with physical and emo…
Using micro-geography to understand the realisation of wellbeing: A qualitative GIS study of three social enterprises
Integration and segregation for social enterprise employees: A relational micro‐geography
Geographers have highlighted the role of spaces and places in realising or discouraging social integration for marginalised or “dis/abled” citizens. Social enterprises, widely promoted by governments, aim to act as unique socio‐commercial spaces that can up‐skill citizens for work through technical and social experiences. Social enterprises have also been proposed to add value by fostering wellbeing realisation, but this has been difficult to mea…
What Motivates Participants to Adhere to Green Exercise
There is a lack of research into green exercise which investigates and compares motivational drivers between the different types of outdoor activities. The current paper addressed this gap by classifying and comparing three types of green exercise: (i) Recreational physical activity, (ii) competitive sport, and (iii) outdoor adventure sport. Using a mixed methodological approach, the present study investigated the motivations for adhering to gree…
Does the Mode of Exercise Influence the Benefits Obtained by Green Exercise
Green exercise studies have tended to use walking as a modality of exercise to establish benefits to mental health. Whether green exercise benefits translate into different forms of green exercise has been deemed an important research gap. A mixed-methods study design was used to compare psychological responses between two forms of green exercise; golf and walking. A total of 20 participants (10 in each group), with a range of ages and experience…
The personal and community impact of a Scottish Men's Shed
Social isolation and loneliness are known to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore, reducing social isolation and loneliness may improve such outcomes. In relation to men's health, "Men's Sheds" have been shown as one mechanism to achieve this. Studies in Australia and England have shown social, health and personal benefits; however, this remains an area that has not yet been researched in Scotland. This study, therefore…
Revealing student nurses' perceptions of human dignity through curriculum co-design
Dignity is a slippery concept to define - yet it has been at the heart of media and policy debates around the provision of health and social care in recent years; particularly in the United Kingdom following the Mid-Staffordshire scandal and subsequent Francis Inquiry. This paper considers the concept of dignity in care from the perspective of student nurses. Thus, it allows us to discuss how professional nurses-to-be conceptualise dignity and al…
An exploration of the longer-term impacts of community participation in rural health services design
The use of apps to support Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise
Introduction: Urinary Incontinence is socially isolating and debilitating condition affecting millions of women worldwide. Pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) is the first line of treatment and can prevent or delay the onset of symptoms. However, there is a lack of understanding about motivation and adherence to PFME
Considering the implications of place-based approaches for improving rural community wellbeing: The value of a relational lens
This article considers how spatial, place-based approaches to improving rural community wellbeing may be enriched through employing a relational view of space. Wellbeing is a focal point within place-based policy aimed at improving health-related disadvantage, with the expectation that this will have positive effects at the community level. However, the effective implementation of rural place-based policy is challenging, partly due to current hom…

Ethno-faith-burbs: Religious Affiliation and Residential Patterns of the Indian Ethnic Populations of Dundee and Glasgow
Linking 1991 and 2001 census data on the residential distributions of ethnic minority populations within urban areas of the UK shows general trends towards dispersal and suburbanisation. This paper takes the case study cities of Dundee and Glasgow (Scotland, UK) in order to examine the religious affiliation of the Indian ethnic suburban and suburbanising populations. It seems the largest faith groups within the Indian ethnic population (Sikh, Mus…
Towards a geographical research agenda for social enterprise
It has been recognised that there is potential for the study of social enterprise to engage to a greater degree with the social science disciplines. This paper demonstrates that some of the research gaps relating to social enterprise and socially enterprising behaviour within the UK could be tackled within a geographical research agenda for social enterprise that recognises the place‐based aspects of such activity. There is scope for a greater fo…
Geographies of faith: The differing residential patterns of the Indian‐Hindu, Indian‐Sikh and Indian‐Muslim populations of Dundee and Glasgow
This paper examines whether the largest faith groups (Sikh, Hindu and Muslim) within the Indian ethnic populations of Dundee and Glasgow (Scotland) form residential clusters based around their religious affiliations. The residential geographies of the Indian‐Hindu, Indian‐Sikh and Indian‐Muslim populations of each city are explored through a combination of location quotients (LQ), regression and principal components analysis (PCA). Conclusions ca…
